Abstract

We developed an e-Learning content delivery system “LECMIS”. LECMIS employs collective intelligence approach for supporting motivation of learners. In LECMIS, learners can add hints for problems they had solved. Hints are evaluated by those who read them. Contents are refined by the cycle of reading/writing/evaluating hints which is essential for collective intelligence. By this approach, we aim to motivate learners to continue learning by giving them a feeling that other learners are also learning and actively participating in improving the contents. Once they have solved problems, they are proud and willing to add hints for others. We evaluated LECMIS by two kinds of evaluation experiment. First evaluation showed that the hint reading/writing/evaluating cycle actually appeared. Second evaluation experiment showed that LECMIS improved learning time which corresponds to motivation of learners.
